5 SBA loans have financed LPL Financial LLC - Registered Investment Advisor Master Services Agreement locations since 2021, written by 5 different lenders across 5 states. Half were approved for $742K or less, the mix is 504-heavy, and 20% went to owners whose business was under two years old.
A lender that has already underwritten this brand knows the unit economics, the build-out costs, and the franchisor. That is worth more to you than a bigger bank starting from scratch.
